If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it's just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it's 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. It's much more cost-effective to just order the bound paperback from Amazon.com This book includes original commentary which is copyright material.

| external users of financial information: Ten Years to Midnight Blair H. Sheppard, 2020-08-04 “Shows how humans have brought us to the brink and how humanity can find solutions. I urge people to read with humility and the daring to act.” —Harpal Singh, former Chair, Save the Children, India, and former Vice Chair, Save the Children International In conversations with people all over the world, from government officials and business leaders to taxi drivers and schoolteachers, Blair Sheppard, global leader for strategy and leadership at PwC, discovered they all had surprisingly similar concerns. In this prescient and pragmatic book, he and his team sum up these concerns in what they call the ADAPT framework: Asymmetry of wealth; Disruption wrought by the unexpected and often problematic consequences of technology; Age disparities--stresses caused by very young or very old populations in developed and emerging countries; Polarization as a symptom of the breakdown in global and national consensus; and loss of Trust in the institutions that underpin and stabilize society. These concerns are in turn precipitating four crises: a crisis of prosperity, a crisis of technology, a crisis of institutional legitimacy, and a crisis of leadership. Sheppard and his team analyze the complex roots of these crises--but they also offer solutions, albeit often seemingly counterintuitive ones. For example, in an era of globalization, we need to place a much greater emphasis on developing self-sustaining local economies. And as technology permeates our lives, we need computer scientists and engineers conversant with sociology and psychology and poets who can code. The authors argue persuasively that we have only a decade to make headway on these problems. But if we tackle them now, thoughtfully, imaginatively, creatively, and energetically, in ten years we could be looking at a dawn instead of darkness. |

| external users of financial information: Introduction to Accounting - English Navneet Singh, Accounting is a vital aspect of business that involves recording, summarizing, analysing, and communicating financial information. It provides a systematic way to track the financial activities of an organization, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions. Here's an introduction to the fundamental concepts and principles of accounting: Purpose of Accounting: The primary purpose of accounting is to provide relevant financial information about a business entity to internal and external users. Internal users include management and employees who use this information for decision-making, planning, and controlling operations. External users include investors, creditors, government agencies, and the public who rely on financial statements to evaluate the financial health and performance of the business. Key Financial Statements: Balance Sheet: It provides a snapshot of the company's financial position at a specific point in time, showing its assets, liabilities, and equity. Income Statement: Also known as the profit and loss statement, it summarizes the revenues, expenses, and net income (or loss) of a company over a specified period. Statement of Cash Flows: This statement reports the cash inflows and outflows from operating, investing, and financing activities, providing insights into how cash is generated and used by the business. Accounting Principles: GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles): These are a set of standard accounting principles, standards, and procedures that companies use to compile their financial statements in the United States. It ensures consistency, comparability, and transparency in financial reporting. IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards): These are accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), used by companies in many countries outside the United States. IFRS aims to harmonize accounting practices globally. Double-Entry Accounting: This is a fundamental accounting principle that states that for every transaction, there are at least two accounts involved, with one account debited and another credited. This ensures that the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity) remains balanced. Types of Accounts: Assets: Economic resources owned or controlled by the company, such as cash, inventory, property, and equipment. Liabilities: Obligations owed by the company to external parties, such as loans, accounts payable, and bonds payable. Equity: Represents the residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting liabilities. It includes contributed capital from owners and retained earnings. Revenues: Income generated from the sale of goods or services. Expenses: Costs incurred in the process of generating revenue. Accounting Cycle: This is the process that accountants follow to record, analyse, and report financial transactions of a business. It typically includes steps such as identifying transactions, journalizing, posting to ledgers, preparing trial balances, adjusting entries, preparing financial statements, and closing entries. Auditing: This is the examination of financial statements and accounting records by an independent auditor to ensure their accuracy and compliance with accounting standards and regulations. Understanding these basic principles and concepts provides a solid foundation for anyone interested in learning more about accounting and its role in business operations and decision-making. |
